    Couldn't find an appropriate place to post it, so here it is:

    Please don't make the Youtube trailer play automatically. I've always had a particular disdain when websites just start to randomly play music or whatever at full volume.

    Thankyou.

    Agreed, it's almost as annoying as an ad!

    Anyone who DOESNT browse the internet with flashblock (or similar) installed is an idiot waiting to be infected. Flash is one of the main attack vectors on the internet.

    It also has the added benefit of preventing videos from automatically starting.

    But... That's irrelevant. Not everyone has it, But everyone who's going to get King Arthur's Gold is going to get it from Kag2d, along with the intimidating video that automatically plays.

    I've never even heard of flashblock nor have I ever got a virus in this way. Methinks you are just exaggerating and either way, that is no excuse to dislike this idea as Eggnogg makes a damn good point.

    Noburu, I think that depends entirely on which websites you visit ;)

    You don't stand to be infected via flash on youtube or 90% of the popular websites out there, it just isn't a problem.

    The idea is great I think - it is always annoying if you have your speakers on loud!

    Slightly off-topic.. but I have to vent somewhere:

    What do http://kag2d.com and http://jenniejune.com have in common? Freakin' autoplay!!!

    Personal experience is a bad benchmark for preparing for things to go wrong.

    I also agree. Having the video in the middle of the splash page... perfect! Autoplay... terrible! Please make it play on demand.
